Films like C/o Kancharapalem and Mallesham have set the trend of offbeat films based in a particular region.
Palasa 1978 also looks like an offbeat film set in Palasa, a small village in Srikakulam district.
Directed by debutant Karuna Kumar, the film looks extremely raw and gritty throwing light on Uttarandhra faction.
The film stars newcomers and is made on a shoestring budget. But it grabbed attention as Suresh Productions came forward to release it.
The trailer shows that the film has potential with authentic setting and dialogue. The film is presented by Tammareddi Bharadwaj and produced by Dhyan Atluri.
It is coming out in theaters on March 6.
